Many of the foods and snacks that you eat or encounter also have scrap aluminum attached to them that can be recycled.

Another example of common things made of aluminum would include the silver lined wrapper on your favorite candy bar.

The silver cap on yogurt, tv dinner trays or that can filled with corn that you had a hard time opening, then through it into the garbage can is worth money.

Scrap Tin – tin is another metal like copper that you will rarely run into while you’re out hunting for scrap metal. Tin is often used to coat the inside of canned goods, other than that you may only find scrap holiday tins that once had popcorn or chocolate in them.

You may have other scrap tin items like, cookie sheets, pie or cake pans and cookie cutters. These are just a few examples of scrap tin products.
